Klein, whom many regard as the heart and soul of the team leading the deepest conference in college football, was selected from an original field of 29 of college’s top quarterbacks, including finalists A.J. McCarron (Alabama), Geno Smith (West Virginia), Matt Barkley (USC), and E.J. Manuel (Florida State).

Named after the man many refer to as the greatest quarterback ever to play the game of football, The Golden Arm Award will be presented to Klein this coming Friday, December 7, at a ceremony held in Baltimore.

“Collin is not just a tremendous athlete and leader on the field, but an MVP off the field as well, who repeatedly has been recognized for his numerous contributions to the community and to the spirit of sportsmanship,” says John C. Unitas, Jr., President of The Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Educational Foundation.

Heisman pundit Chris Huston of CBS Sports recently noted, “No player has better defined his team and its success over the past couple of seasons than Collin Klein.” This year alone, Klein has completed 180 of 272 passes for 2,490 yards and 15 touchdowns.

Off the field, Klein has been a star as well, leading him to be named a finalist for the ARA Sportsmanship Award, honoring the player that best personifies the spirit of sportsmanship, and one of 11 FBS players selected for the AFCA Good Works team, recognizing positive impact in the community.
